What do you think?

[dave]

this is just a place where you can tell me what you think about the group. if i need improvements or anything like that. or if you have an idea but dont want to start the topic yourself here would be the place to try it out. so yea, enjoy. first off i guess, as the title says, what do you think of the group? good idea, bad idea, stupid idea, i dont mind the criticism, lol. i was just wanting a place for people to have stuff to do, make some new friends. thats my goal with this group.

[Mirjam]

I would like to see the true crime part bigger, but we, as members, can work on that together. :)

[dave]

absolutely, feel free to add what you like or suggest ideas. the group is only a few days old so its still got lots of time to grow :)

[Geetha]

I would very much like you to read the book, Song of the Koel and tell me what you think of it.

[dave]

i will add it to my list and hopefully get a copy geetha, thanks for the recommendation.

[Ash]

So far I am pretty impressed. Don't make me eat those words, please! Lol

[dave]

ha i will try not to, tho if you do think of something youd like to add go right ahead, im glad you are enjoying it so for tho

[dave]

I was thinking about maybe srarting a book challenge. Who can read the most in a month kinda deal. Id like to give some sort of prize but i have no idea what. Any suggestions? I was toying with the idea of the winner can ask for me to draw them a pic of whatever they want? I dont know if thats a good enough prize so id love to hear some suggestions.

How about fun quizzes?

[dave]

Like trivia? Thats a pretty good idea, i am a jeopardy fan.

[[deleted user]]

Ah, me, too, Dave. Let's incorporate that into a topic/thread. Lot's of fun and educational.

[Shauna]

I think this group is in danger of fading away because, apart from one or two regular posters there is no day to day activity.

[dave]

Yea youre right shauna, ill be updating more but if youve got some ideas to bring out some more people im happy to hear em :)

[dave]

thinking about some ways to liven the group up a bit, any one have any thoughts?

[[deleted user]]

I think we should have writing contest once a month?

[dave]

what kind of writing contest?

[[deleted user]]

We could do different genres each time, a certain theme maybe.

[dave]

i think thats a pretty good idea, maybe we can do different types of writing too, like a full story in a paragraph, or a couple sentences even.

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, I like that idea.

[dave]

yea we gotta make it so non writers such as myself can enjoy, lol. gonna have to think about exactly how to put it into a discussion form, but definitely a winner.

[[deleted user]]

Awesome. Well have to figure it all out. It shouldn't be to difficult.

[dave]

perhaps it can be our groups first event :)

[[deleted user]]

Yeah. We'll have to talk about the detail and such. But I think it should be once a month. Start at the beginning of the month and then a deadline for when they should be in.

[dave]

im thinking about a daily trivia kind of thing, what do you think of that idea?

[[deleted user]]

I like that idea. You know what we could do. We could have like a battle of the sex's type deal. I don't know, just a thought.

[dave]

ok the trivia is up, do you mean by battle of the sexes keeping score, boys vs girls? i was planning on putting up a list for a score just of each individual answerer, i dont think we need to throw the genders out there. besides i am one of the few dudes that posts on a regular basis, lol. you ladies have me outnumbered, also i come up with the questions so i know all the answers

[[deleted user]]

Yeah. That's fine. It was just an idea really. :)

[Shauna]

Might as well put dave down as the winner now then!;)
